Chapter 270: The Smoke Rises Again

Wu Anjun was good at analyzing the situation between the enemy and us, and then adopted correct strategies and tactics to launch a devastating attack on the enemy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info He does not take the siege of cities and land as the only goal, but takes the destruction of the enemy's living forces as the main purpose, and is good at field attacks, and must seek annihilation in battle.

Ordering Wang Ji and Huan Ji to give up attacking Zhao Kuo's army, and instead go south to flank Zhao Zhuang's army, is the most direct embodiment of Bai Qi's thinking of using troops.

The failure of the plan to besiege the Zhao army did not discourage Bai Qi. His next goal was to eliminate the living forces of the Zhao army as much as possible and lay the foundation for the victory of the subsequent war.

After seeing the power of the Inhuman Cavalry Legion, Huan Di eliminated his contempt for the Inhuman Legion. This time he went south, and Huan Yu did not let the Inhuman Legion queen again. In charge of the palace is Wang Di's thirty or forty thousand iron horsemen.

100,000 iron horsemen, with the momentum of thunder, rushed towards the army of Zhaozhuang. Zhao Kuo's 150,000 army could only face the dust raised by the vast cavalry, marching all the way and chasing after him.

At this time, the army of more than 200,000 led by Zhao Zhuang was fighting with the army of Mengfu in the south and the rest of Wang Yu in the west. In order to eliminate the Zhaozhuang army, Bai Qi had already issued a death order, requiring the two armies to bite the Zhaozhuang army to the death and not let it get out of trouble.

Meng Fu got the order and ordered the infantry army to detour behind Zhao Zhuang's army and block the road to the north of Zhao Zhuang's army. The infantry formed a defensive formation, like an iron chain, entangled the Zhao Zhuang army.

Zhao Zhuang, the deputy general of the Zhao army, was also experienced in a hundred battles, and immediately adjusted the deployment of the army after receiving the military order from the general Zhao Kuo. He placed his infantry in the south, and also formed a defensive battle formation to resist the assault of the Mengfu army and the rest of Wang Yu's army. Then gradually move the iron cavalry to the north, responsible for breaking through the defensive chains laid by the Mengfu army.

An army of four or five hundred thousand people moved around and fought each other in the valley of the Dan River.

Bai Qi sat in the Wolf Mountain Watchtower, condescending, with an excellent vision, accurately commanded the two armies, divided into joint attacks, advanced and retreated freely, and firmly dragged the Zhaozhuang army and couldn't move.

Zhao Zhuang was in the game, unable to see the overall situation, so he could only passively respond to the enemy.

After several rounds of testing, Zhao Zhuang has completely given up on relying only on his own strength to get out of trouble. He mobilized his army again and prepared to resist the Qin army's southward iron cavalry charge.

Zhao Zhuang knew very well that his task was to drag the army of General Zhao Kuo to come for reinforcements. When that happens, it's time to fight back, and whoever loses or wins won't be seen.

After Zhao Zhuang re-arranged, the central infantry army was 100,000, and the cavalry on both wings was 50,000, a total of 200,000 red Hufu troops, just like the maple forest in the autumn color, fiery and red. The cavalry on both wings are all Yinshan Huma, each with a long knife and a curved bow, a thousand horsemen and a banner, and the troops are extremely clean.

According to the situation on the battlefield, the layout of the central phalanx is rather strange, and it is actually arranged symmetrically according to the north and south.

The first echelon of the front and rear twenty columns of cowhide shield scimitars of 1,000 men each, the second echelon of fifteen columns of spear throwers of 1,000 men each, and the third echelon of fifteen columns of strong crossbow archers of 1,000 men each. On both sides of the phalanx, there is a watchtower cloud car more than three zhang high, and the hunting is flying with a huge red flag with the word "Zhao".

It is conceivable that in order to deal with the Qin army's attack from the north and south, Zhao Zhuang also tried his best. What's even more clever is that he can gradually adjust the military formation in the middle of the melee, which is really remarkable.

Seeing that Zhao Zhuang coped with it freely, Bai Qi on the tower also had a lot of emotion.

It is worthy of being the only Zhao army that can match the Qin army in the same period. Whether it is the combat strength of their soldiers or the ability of their generals, they are not comparable to the Qin army. The only thing lacking may be the lack of national strength.

The goal of dragging Zhao Zhuang's army has been achieved, and Bai Qi immediately ordered the Mengfu infantry army to withdraw, rejoin with the main force, and make room for the upcoming 100,000 iron cavalry.

At the same time, Bai Qi ordered the rest of Wang Yi to assemble and arrange it to the west of Zhaozhuang's army. After the Mengfu army was assembled, it was arranged to the east of Zhaozhuang's army to form an east-west flank attack.

Bai Qi's deeper purpose is to use the east and west armies to firmly drag the cavalry on both wings of Zhao Zhuang's army, so that they cannot be inserted, and they are mixed up with the iron cavalry going south.

Bai Qi's arrangement made Zhao Zhuang extremely uncomfortable, he was like a trapped beast, facing enemies on all sides. The only gap, the southern barracks, appears to be a way of life, but in fact the biggest way out.

What made Zhao Zhuang even more helpless was that he was ready to be attacked by the north and south, but Bai Qi did not arrange a single soldier in the south, so that his arrangement was completely in vain, and it was too late to adjust the military formation.

The gap between Zhao Zhuang and Bai Qi is undoubtedly revealed in this battle between you and me.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves, like the thunder of the Nine Heavens, exploded in his ears. The sound came from far to near, one moment it seemed to be ten miles away, and the next moment it felt close at hand.

Zhao Zhuang knew very well that the enemy's iron cavalry had finally come.

The smoke rose again, and a great war was staged again in the Changping Valley.

"Raise your shield!" The commander began to give orders.

Compared with the Qin army's strong armor and heavy soldiers, the Zhao army's infantry soldiers are light and sharp, the cowhide shield in their hands is large and garden, and the meniscus combat knife is both light and sharp.

The horses of the Qin army's iron cavalry all have armor, and the knights are also iron-armored swords and carry longbows.

It's a battle of spear and shield. Huan Yu knew that his goal was to lead the iron cavalry to completely penetrate the large array of the Chinese army in Zhaozhuang. If you can't penetrate it completely, you will face the risk of being besieged.

The cavalry on both wings of Zhao Zhuang's army just wanted to plug in and confront the oncoming Qin army's iron cavalry. The Qin troops on the east and west sides immediately dispatched, like an iron tong dragging the cavalry to death, and they fought together.

Black torrents of steel, under the rain of arrows and javelins, launched a fierce attack that was not afraid of death. After paying huge casualties, the vanguard led by Huan Yu finally assaulted the Zhao army.

With an invincible momentum, the Qin army's iron cavalry turned a blind eye to the Zhao army's scimitar soldiers with the inertia of high-speed charge, and soon penetrated the first column, followed by the second column, and then the third column.

The scimitars of the Zhao army did not show weakness, the scimitars in their hands, like flowing water, cut off the horse's legs accurately, and in an instant, the knight was thrown off the horse by the huge inertia, and what was waiting for him was the sword to add to the body.

The Inhuman cavalry corps led by Shi Wansui is in the middle of the 100,000 iron cavalry.

Fortunately, this was the best way to avoid the attack of the rain of arrows and javelins, otherwise, he would have suffered heavy losses before he made contact with the Zhao army.

After paying a huge price in casualties, the Huan army finally broke through the positions of the scimitar soldiers and spear throwers of the Zhao army. The next thing to face is a strong crossbow archer who has no defense.

Once the breakthrough reached this point, the pressure on the Inhuman Legion in the middle army and the Wang Di army in the rear army dropped sharply. With an unrivaled momentum, like a tide, it surged towards the Chinese army of Zhao Zhuang.

Huan's army assaulted to the middle, and it was already a follow-up weakness. He made a quick decision, led a large army to attack left and right, and began to ravage the 30,000 strong crossbow archers in the middle.

The Inhuman Legion led by Shi Wansui came first, and along the bloody path of the Huan Gong army, they effortlessly broke through the positions of the scimitar soldiers and spear throwers of the Zhao army, and also came to the position of the crossbow archers.

At Huan's signal, the Inhuman Legion continued to charge forward.

The crossbow archers' positions were followed by the spear-throwing positions and the scimitar-smitar positions.

To Huan Di's order, Ouyang Shuo was itching at the root of his teeth. He also thought that Huan Yu's conscience had found out, and it turned out that he was waiting for him here, and his main force was slashing and killing the powerful crossbow archers who had no power to fight back in the middle, but let the Inhuman Legion gnaw the last hard bone.

The military order was like a mountain, and even if Ouyang Shuo was angry in his heart, he had to signal Shi Wansui to continue to move forward.

If you think about it carefully, there is actually nothing wrong with Huan's arrangement. The three-way army, Wang Yubu is in charge of the palace, and it is already a big loss. The Huan Gong Department, which was responsible for acting as a striker, also suffered heavy losses.

The only one that is intact is the Inhuman Legion in the middle army.

Therefore, it is only natural to hand over the next charge mission to the Inhuman Legion.

Fortunately, the army in Shanhai County is not a soft bone, and I have never seen any battles.

The crossbow archers in the middle were chased and killed by the Huan Gong Department and scurried around, rushing to the rear position, and it was not as neat as at the beginning.

Shi Wansui seized the opportunity and ordered the army to press on all fronts, and be sure to break through the last two lines of defense at once.

Compared with the Qin army's iron cavalry, the second brigade and the janissary brigade are even better, and the green worm horse sitting down is also better than the Qin army's war horse, Shi Wansui certainly has this confidence.

The Inhuman Legion effortlessly broke through the spear shooter position, and with a bang, it once again broke through the scimitar position, like a tsunami, sweeping past the position of the Zhao army.

Seeing that the Chinese army's position was shattered, Bai Qi ordered again, ordering the eastern and western armies to press on all fronts and make every effort to encircle and suppress Zhaozhuang's army.

Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sky, which had been clear just now, suddenly became cloudy.

Zhao Zhuang was in the game, and the guards around him were also scattered in all directions, and he was no longer able to command the army.

The huge army, which suddenly lost its command structure, immediately became disorganized and gradually showed signs of decline. The soldiers fought separately, unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and suffered heavy losses in a short period of time.

On the contrary, the various armies of the Qin army, under the superb command of Bai Qi, formed an organic whole, like flowing clouds, attacking together, or interspersed, or surrounding, eating away at the army of Zhaozhuang one bite at a time.

Bai Qi's level of conducting, reaching the pinnacle, has risen to the height of art.

His brain, like a compact instrument, calculates every step with precision, and every minute is exactly right. Every tiniest detail on the battlefield could not escape his eagle-like eyes, and he used them to the extreme.

Zhao Zhuang's army has fallen into an unprecedented crisis and is about to collapse.

At the critical moment, Zhao Kuo finally led the army, marched all the way, and rushed to reinforcements. (To be continued.) )
